Edmonds bans single-use plastics

In addition to plastic straws, utensils, and stir sticks, the Edmonds City Council has moved to ban all non-compostable food service containers from being offered by any Edmonds businesses.

The ordinance, approved this month, will prohibit businesses from offering any single-use plastic items such as plates, bowls, cups, take-out containers, and several other common plastic food containers.
